What should my tyre pressure be?

I was quite pleased in getting Avon ZV1's with my wheels. Good budget tyre imo, had them on my old 205, served me well, till it's last corner.

i put 15s on mine and it felt alot lighter....

i was told cause my old tyres were pish, that they made the sterring heavier.

maybe ur running a higher tyre pressure which would make it feel lighter

i think the reason why it feels lighter is that when you're driving the wheel has more contact due to bigger size on the road therefore following the contours more. if you arent moving im sure that they'll feel heavier when dry steering.
